Lucas' expression instantly turned sharp and serious. "The nurses stole my blood sample?"Edmund nodded. "Yes. I think this is a really serious matter so I've already arranged for our men to escort those two nurses back to New Capital City."Lucas stood up and straightened up his suit. "Where are they now?""They're kept under watch in the basement.""Bring me there now!""Yes, Mister Lucas!"…In the basement.Although it was called the "basement", it was nonetheless very richly decorated with all the furniture one would need to live comfortably. The only drawback was it was too cold down there so the Riveras rarely went down there.At that moment, the two nurses were locked up in one of the rooms. They were shivering, crying, and hugging each other since no one bothered to explain to them what was going on. One of them was on the verge of having a breakdown when suddenly she plucked up the courage to kneel in front of the two bodyguards watching over them."Please, Sir. I'm

The nurse on the right kept nodding her head. "Yes! I can tell you're a good person, Mister Lucas!"Lucas smiled emotionlessly. "Whether I'm a good person depends on how you answer what I'm going to ask you later."The nurses exchanged confused glances with each other. They had no idea what Lucas was getting at. However, they told themselves they would do whatever Lucas asked of them as long as he promised to let them go."Mister Lucas, we'll do anything you ask. Please, we'll tell you anything you want to know and we promise to not hold anything back.""Yes, we'll tell you anything you want to know."Lucas took another sip of his coffee before saying, "I heard the two of you stole a little of my blood sample. Is that true?"The two nurses immediately tensed up when they heard the question. It never crossed their mind they would be brought in for that matter! They knew what they did was illegal and against the Hippocratic oath of do no harm so they made sure to not leave any trac
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 716
"How could the two of you violate the confidentiality of your patient of which you swore to uphold as nurses? Does the Hippocratic oath mean nothing to you? You two should be ashamed to call yourself nurses!" said Lucas harshly.His words caused the two nurses to drop their heads in shame."Mister Lucas, we know what we did was wrong… but we hope you can find it in your heart to keep this to yourself 'cause we're both just interns… If words get out, it'll damage the hospital's reputation and countless innocent, hardworking, professional medical staff would suffer because of us. I know I'm unworthy for this profession so I promise I will resign from the hospital when I get back."When the first nurse had finished speaking, Lucas raised his brow and looked at the other nurse indifferently. "She said she would resign from the hospital. What about you?"The other nurse dropped her head remorsefully and said, "Mister Lucas, I was already going to resign from the hospital since I lost th

"We destroyed the DNA report as soon as we had read it… because we didn't want to leave any trace of our crime. Mister Lucas… are you okay?" asked the nurse fearfully.Lucas' face was stiff with rage. "Let me ask you one more time. Are you sure the DNA test says Corinne and I are brother and sister?""Yes. A hundred percent sure because losing the bet means I have to resign from the hospital so I made sure to read and reread the result and it says on the report as clear as day that you and Miss Corinne are indeed brother and sister."Lucas fell into a shocked silence when he heard that. After a long while, he let go of the nurse who immediately broke into tears after that. Lucas' hands were trembling non stop as he was still reeling from the shock of the news.All this while, he thought the reason he could not bear to hurt Corinne was because she had saved Cedric from getting beaten up by the influencer before. That was why he continued to show her mercy again and again.Edmund, t

'All these years I've been searching for Luna and she happened to be right under my nose. Oh, how god loves to play around with my life,' thought Lucas."That means I, her own brother, had not only wronged her again and again but teamed up with others to hurt her, bully her, pour coffee over her, and even forced her to get rid of the baby inside her belly!" moaned Lucas regretfully.Edmund just stood there. He was at a complete loss at what to do. "Umm… Mister Lucas, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself since you had no idea Miss Corinne was actually Miss Luna…"'I'm so glad I finally found her but I won't blame her if she doesn't accept me as her brother… not after all the things I did to her,' thought Lucas. He rested his forehead in his palm and took a deep breath. "Where is Corinne now?""She went back with Jeremy and they should be sleeping right now."Lucas nodded blankly. "I want to see her tomorrow. Make it happen.""Yes, Mister Lucas."Lucas looked up at him and said wo

Jeremy roared with laughter. He had won this round. He reached out his hand and booped her on the nose. "Alright, alright. I'll stop here. I need to go to work anyway so that we'll have enough money to raise the baby."Corinne rolled her eyes at him. "That's more like it."Jeremy tousled her messy hair before throwing off the blanket. He then went to the closet to get his clothes. "You should get out of bed to have your breakfast and for lunch you'll only need to let Bowen know what you wish to eat and he will ask the kitchen to make it for you. As for dinner, wait for me to come back so that we can have it together."The bed immediately became more spacious after Jeremy got out of it. Corinne laid back down and stretched her whole body out like a lazy cat as she absent-mindedly said, "Okay, I got it."Jeremy kept nagging her to be mindful of what she put into her mouth since she was not only feeding herself but the baby too. 'He's certainly different from when I first met him. I s

After coming out of the bedroom, Jeremy checked the time on his watch. "Let her sleep for now. You have my permission to wake her up at ten so that she could have her breakfast," said Jeremy to Bowen, who was standing not far away in anticipation of his orders.Bowen bowed and nodded deferentially. "Yes, Mister Jeremy. You can rest assured Ma'am would be well taken care of.""Good." Jeremy then strode toward the staircase but he stopped when he came to the first flight down. He turned his head around and added, "Make sure she doesn't eat too much junk food or cold drinks."Bowen had never seen this side of Jeremy so he was understandably shocked. After a while, he finally said, "Okay, I'll make sure of that."Jeremy found himself to be missing Corinne even before he left the house. He had never missed someone so much in his life. 'So this is how it feels to love someone so much that you can't even bear to be a second apart from her…'Corinne's sudden disappearance previously had l

'Gah! I hate her so much!' thought Francine. She stood with her arms akimbo and shouted, "Hey, you! Put on some clothes and get up from the bed now!""Why should I?" Corinne asked with a quirk of her eyebrow. She went back to her phone after throwing an indifferent glance at Francine. She was not surprised by her sudden appearance in her room because she heard everything that went outside the room just moments ago."You're asking me why? Well, let me tell you why! As a woman of the Holden family household, you're prohibited from staying in bed past a certain time. Tsk, I guess what they say is true. Poor people are poor because they're lazy," replied Francine.Corinne chuckled wryly. "I married your brother, not you. What makes you think you can control me when he can't even control me?"Francine glared at her and said haughtily, "And what makes you think I can't control you? You can't fool me into thinking you're really my sister-in-law since I know the two of you aren't really ma

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
